My mare has a bug bite on her neck with swelling of 2x1 inches. She has had it since Sunday and I have been applying ice, but no better. Tonight while brusing her, she seemed itchy, I am thinking hives. Can I give her human benadryl in liquid or apply lotion form? I live quite some distance from a vet and can't get in to pick up a Rx. Thanks.

you can use benedryl lotionor use hydrocortizone cream (otc), either would do the job, the hydrocotizone a bit faster
Liquid would be hard to dispense per pound? or just not as safe/effective?
not as effective orally.
